Got a recommendation for an Omega UK service centre off a member of another forum I frequent

My trusty Omega SMP started to run 5 min's fast every few days so after 16 years - it was time for its first service

The cost of the service was 25% less than I was quoted from 2 high street ADs plus the recomendation from somebody who had used before - was good news

I put it in for a movement only service - no polishing\ no cosmetic refinish. Reason being if I wanted a new looking smp - why not buy a new one. All the scratches over 16 years (& there's not that many too be honest) all mean something & add up to what the watch means to me\ been with me over the years

Anyway - took about 5/ 6 weeks & arrived back last Thursday.

Well packaged on return

Omega service pouch inside the hard plasticj box

more bubble wrap inside the pouch

Finally ..........

Should have wiped the dust from the watch before the final pic. No marks on the glass - just dust

Not had off my wrist since !!

Return of an old friend... better than ever.

Very nice...an I agree that there aren't too many scratches for being 16 years old. The case itself looks new. Glad it's back on the wrist!

Great post! Tough little watch...very reliable movement. Had mine serviced twice but through an AD and just for preventative Mx....not really necessary and paid way too much.

Great story and pics!

Mine says hello
